Gwalia Male Choir (''Welsh: Côr Meibion Gwalia'') is a male voice choir (German: ') based in London. Founded in 1967, it is one of London's oldest male choirs. Gwalia is an archaic Welsh name for Wales. It meets and rehearses every week in the building in which it was formed, the London Welsh Centre. This building is a cultural and community center, officially opened in 1930 by Margaret Lloyd George, wife of former Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The honorary President of the choir is BAFTA award winning Welsh journalist, newsreader and presenter Huw Edwards. == Performances == Since its founding, the choir has regularly performed in venues such as the Houses of Parliament, the Foreign Office, the National Liberal Club, St Paul's Cathedral, the Ritz Hotel, the Royal Albert Hall and many of the places of worship in the List of Christopher Wren churches in London. The choir has performed at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The choir has toured widely in Europe, most recently in Lombardy, Italy. Choir members sang as part of the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games. The choir appeared on the 1973 album Back Into The Future by Welsh psychedelic/progressive rock band Man (band), and on the sound track of the Hugh Grant movie The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. They also appear on the Chris De Burgh album ''Beautiful Dreams'' and have performed live on the Robert Elms show on BBC Radio London as part of Saint David's Day celebrations. On August 15, 2015, they took part in a Drumhead Service on Horse Guards Parade in Central London to mark the 70th Anniversary of VJ Day. The service was attended by veterans of the conflict and also by HRH Prince Charles, The Duchess of Cornwall, and Prime Minister David Cameron. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gwalia Male Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
